Ride a Bike to 'The End of Suburbia' & Get In Free

The Colony Theatre in Raleigh will show the documentary film "The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and Collapse of the American Dream" this Wednesday, June 22 at 7 p.m. Regular admission to the film is $3, but those who ride their bikes will get in free.

Some of the folks behind Raleigh's Critical Mass bike rides plan to pedal to the show and invite other interested cyclists to join them. They will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the parking lot behind Hayes Barton Baptist Church at the Five Points intersection where Glenwood Avenue meets Whitaker Mill Road. The ride to the theater is about five miles and is expected to take about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. For more information on the ride, contact gilacliff at yahoo.com.

The Colony is located at 5438 Six Forks Road in North Raleigh, and the phone number is 919-847-5677. Raleigh's Critical Mass bike rides are held the last Friday of the month and depart from the N.C. State Bell Tower on Hillsborough Street.
